Chapter 367: Chapter 365: The Crown Prince Consort and the Empress

How do we deal with them?

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, swept his gaze over the group, then suddenly looked at Gu Jun.

“Teacher, I’ll leave it to you.”

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, then something clicked in his mind and he grinned: “Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied, kid!”

Xu Yi, Muo Hua and the others shuddered inside, a bad feeling creeping up on them!

If they don’t end up dead, they’ll probably bleed money like crazy!

For Xu Yang, today’s a real dead end!

Still, slaughtering this many people isn’t exactly practical!

The Wuhou Hall is part of the Daqian royal family!

The four True Lords are, without a doubt, the strength of Daqian!

And now, Great Hao is lurking like a hungry wolf nearby!

Kill True Lords?

Even if he dared, the Lord Chancellor probably wouldn’t agree!

Better to squeeze some benefits out of this!

With Teacher stepping in, Xu Yang is sure he won’t go easy on them.

After all, he’d been pushed so far he almost had to trade his life for theirs!

Xu Yi hesitated for a second, then stammered, “Your Highness, today’s incident was all because of Huangfu Qing…”

Huangfu Qing!

Xu Yang glanced at Huangfu Qing, who had fainted from fright, the corner of his lips twitching a bit.

Honestly, anyone would pass out finding out their enemy had suddenly become the Crown Prince!

“Leave him here. I’ll handle him myself when he wakes up!”

Shit!

Xu Yi’s scalp went numb. Logically, Huangfu Qing couldn’t die—he was the Wuhou Hall’s top genius and the only one left worth anything.

The others were either crippled by Xu Yang or outright dead!

If Huangfu Qing died too, Wuhou Hall’s next generation would really be wiped out!

But after just offending Xu Yang, Xu Yi and the others didn’t even have the guts to plead for him.

All they could do was hang their heads, bitter and silent.

“In a while, I’ll head to the capital myself!”

Xu Yang turned and fixed his eyes on Lord Chancellor.

The Lord Chancellor nodded slightly.

“Has His Majesty come out of seclusion yet?” Xu Yang asked softly.

The Lord Chancellor smiled: “You’ll know when you get there, Your Highness!”

Xu Yang didn’t say another word!

No point asking!

“In that case, I’ll await Your Highness’s grand arrival in the capital!”

With that, Can Yunxiao cupped his fists and floated away.

He had come representing the Emperor to officially crown Xu Yang as Crown Prince.

Now, even if Muo Hua and the others had a hundred lives, they wouldn’t dare plot anything!

Daqian has no princes!

The Emperor only has a daughter!

Now that Xu Yang, the Emperor’s real nephew, is the Crown Prince, there’s literally no way around it!

You’d have to have your brains crushed by a door to think of going against him after that’s out in the open.

Watching Can Yunxiao disappear, Xu Yang took a deep breath, looked at Gu Jun, and said: “Teacher, I’ll leave things here to you. I need a moment to myself!”

Gu Jun nodded slightly.

If it was him, he’d be just as stunned—let alone Xu Yang.

Right now, Xu Yang seriously needed some space!

Xu Yang turned and walked into the Barbarian God Hall!

Jian Chuan really wanted to go up and pester him, but seeing the timing wasn’t right, he could only give up aside.

But as the shock faded inside, he couldn’t hold back the joy on his face!

“Heh heh, Senior, you’re going to pay Wuhou Hall a visit soon, right?” Jian Chuan immediately turned to Gu Jun, rubbing his hands together.

“Wouldn’t it be a waste to not go?” Gu Jun smiled playfully.

“Can I tag along?”

“Your injuries okay for that?”

“No problem, no problem!”

Jian Chuan waved his hands rapidly.

Even if he had just one breath left, he’d crawl along!

Opportunities like this are rare as hell.

The whole Wuhou Hall group looked drained, giving up all hope!

Thinking about what they’d done, they were resigned to it!

If their lives are spared, they could accept any punishment!

Meanwhile,

Xu Yang walked into the Barbarian God Hall, only to be met by pairs of eyes that were both awed and fanatically eager.

A few moments of stunned silence.

Then, out of nowhere, everyone shouted together: “Greetings, Crown Prince!”

Even Su Yun and the other two women were shocked and bowed at once!

“…”

Muscles twitching on his face, Xu Yang said quietly, “Let me hear that title again, and nobody here will have a spot left!”

Everyone glanced at each other, smiling awkwardly.

Liou Yunfeng was the first to react. He immediately said, “Crown—cough, cough, you all heard senior—you all, scatter, scatter!”

My senior brother is the Crown Prince?

Damn!

Liou Yunfeng cursed fiercely in his heart, grinning so hard it almost hurt.

“Senior brother, go rest up.”

“Alright, all out, let him chill!”

Liou Yunfeng waved, winked at Xu Yang, and hurried out.

The crowd nodded along, and surged out the door.

Once they left the Barbarian God Hall, someone finally broke into uncontrollable laughter.

Especially Zhang Lingqiao and Bai Song went wildly over the top!

They thought they’d latched onto a really thick thigh, but damn, it turned out to be the sky itself!

“We’ve made it, made it! Young master is the Crown Prince, and King Beixuan is the Emperor’s own brother.”

“If I died right here today, I’d die happy.”

“I still feel dizzy—this is too unreal. Old Zhang, punch me.”

“I really will though.”

…

“Your Highness!”

Su Yun nervously approached, gave a proper bow, and cautiously looked up at Xu Yang.

Bai Jingxue and Tuoba Hongyu got even more nervous, looking all anxious!

That’s the Crown Prince, after all.

Second only to the Emperor, above everyone else!

Xu Yang snapped, “What, the great Mr. Su suddenly turned all timid?”

Hearing this, Su Yun finally felt relieved inside.

She knew Xu Yang was still Xu Yang!

Su Yun immediately stepped forward, hooked Xu Yang’s arm, and said shyly, “Well, Your Highness scared me, that’s all.”

“Hmm?”

“Ugh, young master!”

“Young master, does this mean we’re the Crown Prince Consorts?”

“So, are we future Empresses?”

“Phew, if I’m Empress, then Bai and Hongyu are Precious Consorts!”

Xu Yang’s face turned dark.

Bai and Hongyu, seriously!

He instinctively glanced at Tuoba Hongyu, only to find her lowering her head, not daring to meet his eyes, not even wanting to refute it, and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

“Alright, enough!”

“There’s no way I’ll actually be Crown Prince.”

Finishing, Xu Yang looked at Tuoba Hongyu and said, “Thank you for the two drops of your blood today. My promise still stands; even though I have zero interest in being Crown Prince, I doubt anyone will dare brush me off again.”

“In Daqian, you can go wherever you want!”

Even Xu Yang had to admit—the Crown Prince title really comes with a lot of clout!

Especially with how Daqian is these days!

Even if he turns it down flat, even if the Emperor stops pushing and scraps the title, anyone in the know still wouldn’t dare underestimate him!

None of this was what he wanted!

He was planning to sneak into the capital and get some info straight from the Emperor!

But now, that plan’s down the drain.

Tuoba Hongyu slowly raised her head, gave Xu Yang a complicated look, but didn’t say anything, only silently nodded.

“Don’t mess around!” Xu Yang shot a glare at the still-unsatisfied Su Yun, and strode deeper inside.

He was completely exhausted—after all that pressure from the big-shot True Lords, even if he wasn’t injured, he was running on empty!

Add in the shock of suddenly being made Crown Prince, and all he wanted now was to get some real sleep!
